La La Lemon (Organic)

This tea is OK, and that is all I can say about it. When it is cold steeped, it is your classic black ice tea. Its refreshing, and hydrating. Hot on the other hand… It tastes like neocitron with a slightly bitter after taste. I will only keep this tea stocked in the summer time for cold brewing.

UPDATE: Im drinking this hot as we speak, and the astringency is quite bad! and when you do drink it more and more, then take a break, you get this really strange lemon, metallic taste. Definitely won’t try it hot again! This is strictly a cold brew!

I’ve been drinking a lot of this tea. It’s light, and it works as an everyday tea well, especially if I need to brew something for a day where I just want a black tea to drink and not necessarily to spend a lot of time with.

I decided to do a tasting note today, because the pot I brewed is especially good. I don’t know what I did differently, but the tea is better than usual. The lemon flavor is not very distinctive. I prefer my lemon teas a bit more lemon-y. The tea, though, is bright and sweet, and I do like it. I just wish I was more excited by this tea. I really want a lemon tea that I just love. This isn’t it.

I bought a lot of this tea kind of by accident. I had this blip in my head and bought 100g instead of 50g. But I’ve been drinking it, so I’ll probably make it through my stash. I do really like the David’s Tea tins. This was my first purchase from David’s, so this is also my first tin.

I quite enjoy this tea! Personally I love the flavor, I think its the perfect balance between lemony goodness and plain tea. Personally I find that it is nice and strong, and it is one of my favorite teas to drink iced. Definitely a re-purchase for me!

Simple and lemony. Good without milk. Not a standout, but not bad either.

I tried a shorter steep time for this tea, hoping to bring out the lemon that’s overpowering in the scent of the dry leaves.

Nothing.

I tried sugar to bring out the lemon dessert quality others mentioned here.

Also nothing.

It tastes a lot like the Lipton tea bags when my mom makes them. Not a bad thing as I don’t mind these … but not what I was expecting from a lemon tea.

It’s a good morning-at-the-office tea, just not one I plan on reordering.

I had this as a hot to-go sample from my local DT today… I had asked for something lemony and this didn’t disappoint! Yes, the lemon flavour is very in your face, but that is precisely how I like my lemon-based teas. Lovely black tea blend; definitely a future purchase.

As always, very good and not disappointed! Perfect for my sore throat with a little bit of honey ;)Very good lemony tea. 5 minutes of steeping is a little long though and gives bitterness to the tea. From now on, I’ll steep it 2 or 3 minutes.

I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t found the perfect brewing situation for this or what, but I really WANT to like it, I just don’t. Every time I’ve had it’s very bitter and I’ve tried a few different brew methods/times so I’m not sure what is going on.

It also doesn’t really taste lemony. I really want a good and not too tart lemon/citrus iced tea sweet more than tart. Any DT recommendations?(I don’t shop online and DT is in my ’hood.)

I tried a sample of this at a friend’s place and it is on my to buy list now. Not sure how it will hold up on the second steep so I will only get 50g I think but still a delightful citrus! Looking forward to trying it cold.

I’ve only had this hot so far, but I feel that this would make a great lemon iced tea. Having it hot is a great way to go however, it was just comforting, like the way I feel with a good tea when I’m sick in bed with some chicken soup. It’s simple which is great for me. On those days I don’t want a BAM HERE I AM flavour this will help, and as one can probably already tell, this is great with honey instead of sugar.
